A lot of people in the St. Louis area remember Steven Stevens for his rich resonant voice, but others say they prefer to remember the way he used his voice. Stevens was a radio and television personality in the area for many years, and since he started broadcasting at a young age his voice influenced the direction of his life. His family says they remember that Steven’s relationship with God played a bigger role in how he lived his life and used his abilities. The first thing we would do each morning was to read the Bible, because he wanted to put God first. Stevens had read the Bible through several times, and used his unique voice to record several full length translations of the Bible as well as many specialty-themed recording on topics like healing, love, and prosperity. Steven’s daughter Kristi says her father used his talent best when he glorified God with it. She added,”The Bible teaches that we are to love God and then love others. And my dad did that.”— Jim L.

Philippians 2:1-4 (HCSB) (1) If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, (2) fulfill my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, sharing the same feelings, focusing on one goal. (3) Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. (4) Everyone should look out not ⌊only⌋ for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
